Do you have the link to this? Very surprised at several of the ratings. Perhaps some are not accurate because of incomplete schedules??

Wow, Carmel is ranked higher than VC, LG and Serra, no to mention Palma and Seaside. Never thought I’d see the day. Good luck to them; they have the same weak schedule they had last year, so they should blow everyone out by at least 40 points again.

I came, I saw, I conquered

Shocked by this list as well. Milpitas in front of Bellarmine? Something doesn’t seem right there. I couldn’t find the list on cal preps.

CalPreps states they are not very accurate in the beginning of the year and become more accurate over the season. I’m sure they will be adjusting their ratings as they get more information. The preview of their CCS ratings can be found here:

Hilarious how the north is always hyped up more than the south. Although the North does have alot of talent, i woudn’t count out the south. They have some talented athletes like ronnie isles and chris eke who can both make things happen. And also have a linebacking core that is equal to the North’s. This will be a close game in my opinion… Who will win the pampered North or the Gritty South

Peter

Why/how is there only one player from Palo Alto?? They won the De Anza league and played in the open division and only lost two games…

I’ve heard about their top receiver Joc Pederson having baseball commitments since he just got drafted by the Dodgers, but what about both of their quaterbacks, or their other speedy receivers, and other linemen? Do they all have other commitments or what?

Go North!

Of the top 10 ranked Santa Clara County teams last season, six are on the North (StF, AM, PA, Mil, LG and Wil) and four are on the South (BCP, VC, P and PH). From those teams, Coach Haniger will have 22 players available to play while coach Carrazzo will have only 10.

David- I believ some of your players you have listed as walking on to San Jose State really aren’t.
John Ruel for sure isnt. since football ended, the guy has lost all his luster. dropped 20 pounds. Pretty sure he’s just going to State for school.
Mike Economy too. He’s just going for school. There’s no linemen from Leland that had D1 potention( LT Sean Dalton is going to Pacific University in ORegon ).
Ralph Jackson, I’ve been to the All star practices and Jackson has not been excelling whats so ever. I’m certain the guys not going to walk on to SJS.
Brian MIchaelis- Going to play football for State, but he’s actually on a waiting list to play there.

To talk about the game, all we have been hearing about is North this North that. Honestly, they do look alot better on paper. They have all the best players from the better schools. But if they arent practicing or conditioned good, they wont last.
North had 1 or 2 full padded practices. The south have been full pads for the last 3 weeks from 2 to 4 days a week and even had a double day on saturday.
The North D looks stout, I wont lie, but you can’t tell me when Piedmont Hill’s Kiesle Spread goes into the game, that Sagote and Pouhau are going to be able to cover Eke,Isles,Smith,Stewart while honoring the run of McCain and whoever the dynamo they may have next to him for the Zone Read. (I know Carrazzo is the head coach, but Kiesle and Alfano have been with the all stars to help coach and Kiesle has put his spread system in).

David

Checkout — thanks for the information. I am surprised about Ruel — my niece went to Leland and I caught one of their games– I think it was against ST or OG — but I thought he was the best player on the field.

What about the rest of the kids? Will they attempt to walk-on? What’s your take on the remaining players? Do you think Craig will focus on baseball or will be give it a go on the gridiron?

All these guys look like players and probably could play right away at a JC or at an FCS level (Davis or Poly). I am really interested in Pohahau. Spartans are lite at LB this year, so I think he will get a chance to play. Tomlitz, Eke and Isle, I think, also have chances to make the roster.

I am really interested to see how well Muuava bounces back tonight. Boy, was he a star in the making as a Junior.

checkout

David- Yeah I watched Ruel in the playoffs and he didn’t look that bad but yeah im certain he’s done with football. Some of those guys you listed have some potential to walk on though like Thoms Everett.
And youre totally right, all those guys you listed can play at most local Jc’s besides Foothill maybe.
Muaava as u may had seen, didnt play tonight and its because hes at SJS and they didnt allow him to play.
Isles is going to SJCC apparently btw.

Based

Isles is not going to SJSU. He’s going to a JC as well.

So, Silva, it seems to me that the South prevailed over the private school & might-as-well-be-private public schools, with a majority of players from non-ranked, barely-able-to-afford-a-team public school programs..

So what point were you trying to make??

silva

The only point I was trying to make is that if those 22 players from the north played well, the south was doomed. I don’t want to be negative, but some of those 22 players did not play very well, at all. I have no desire to name names.

Bottom line: The best players from the south played bigger and better than the best players from the north. The impact players last night were pretty much from the Top 10 teams:

North
StF: Miller and Barrett
AM: Manion
LG: Berg

South
BCP: Ruiz and O’Hara
VC: Yoder and Schmidt
PH: McCain and Stewart

As is usually the case, the team with the best player (McCain) won. From my seat, I saw some strong performances from the following kids:

Silva, Do you really know football or are you letting your feelings for the North cloud your decision. The south just had overall better talent. The North hyped up offense did nothing, they couldnt run on the South’s D and the only reason they got a couple scores was of a freakish dropped pick from a south safety that berg somehow came up with and then some crappy penalties called by the ref on THE NORTH’S side. Miller was getting all the hype as the best QB but Josh Mccain was better. The North Linebacking and Runningback Core were supposed to be better than The Souths. But Derek Stewert from piedmont Hills and Mark Borland from Santa Teresa Seemed to be the best at there positions last night. And silva everything you said and that you predicted seems to be false. You thought the SLOW Linebackers from the south wouldnt be able to cover the (speedy) runningbacks from the North…. Seems you were wrong there. Oh and then this ones even a better Horrible comment from you “No disrespect to the South, but the North all-star kids from just Mitty, Wilcox and St. Francis would probably beat them rather handily” haha those players played a very average game. THE SOUTH HAS RISEN !

I’m not going to start trashing the North players to refute your nonsensical post. I stated very clearly that some of the 22 players on the North team from StF, AM, PA, Milpitas, LG and Wilcox did not play very well. Was that because the South kids were better and because “THE SOUTH HAS RISEN”? Maybe, but probably not. The game was pretty close.

The real reason that the South won is because the offensive and defensive linemen on the South played better than the offensive and defensive linemen on the North. In addition, it didn’t hurt that McCain was awesome and was the MVP. The linebacking corps from both teams did fine. The defensive backs (except for Parks) for both teams had bad nights. The kickers were great. The refs stunk.

I also noticed that the North let some kids play both ways. I thought that was stupid because there wasn’t enough time to coach that with only a few practices. The South seemed to have all of the players play only offense OR defense. Did I see that right?

Johnny PineRider

If these post are right no wonder the North did not shine. Only a couple of practices in pads? Players playing both ways when the team was already made up of just a few schools (Mitty 7, Wilcox 5, St Francis 4)? What was the coach thinking?

I am glad to hear McCain had such a great game. After being knocked out of the playoffs by Milpitas he got another opp to shine again and it sounds like he did. Does anyone know where he is going to school?

He’s going to SJCC last I heard. Him,Kyle Cool from Branham, and Steve Sorce from Sobrato are competing for the #1 spot.

Johnny PineRider

Does anyone know what the local JCs are doing for QBs this season? I thought All Conference Jacob Cuellar was the SJCC #1 QB?

From what I have heard the JCs should be benefiting from alot of good HS QB talent staying local to go to school.

Jacob Cueller left because apparently he was threatened his #1 spot would be taken away.
